Laguna Matata - Collateral Kindness Lyrics

There you stand, with weary eyes
Caught in the crossfire of silent cries
In the eye of the storm, where hearts are torn
I found you caught, between the lines of war
In a world spun tight in webs of spite
Where shadows clash and hate ignites
Collateral kindness, let it be
And maybe one day, we'll look back and see
How kindness can mend what's meant to be
It's not for them, it's for you and me
Building bridges to set us free
In the silence, where tensions rise
We mask our hate in thin disguise
You're caught in the middle, I see the strain
While I wrestle with this unspoken pain
'Cause when I see you standing there
Caught in the crossfire, it's only fair
To lay down arms, let the healing start
Clearing battlegrounds of broken parts
Collateral kindness, let it be
And maybe one day, we'll look back and see
How kindness can mend what's meant to be
It's not for them, it's for you and me
Building bridges to set us free
Because watching you caught in between
Is the hardest thing I've ever seen
And perhaps in time, the wounds will heal
Through acts of love, small and real
And maybe one day they'll understand
The strength it took to extend my hand
But if they don't, that's okay too
Because this, my love, I did for you
Collateral kindness, let it be
And maybe one day, we'll look back and see
How kindness can mend what's meant to be
It's not for them, it's for you and me
Building bridges to set us free
Collateral kindness, let it be
And maybe one day, we'll look back and see
How kindness can mend what's meant to be
It's not for them, it's for you and me
Building bridges to set us free
